8. Rebuilding the XFree86 DistributionYou should configure the distribution by editing
xc/config/cf/host.def before compiling. To compile the
sources, invoke ``make World'' in the xc directory.

8.1. Console drivers

XFree86 has a configuration option to select the console
drivers to use in host.def:

if you're using pccons only put:

#define XFree86ConsoleDefines -DPCCONS_SUPPORT

if you're using pcvt only put:

#define XFree86ConsoleDefines -DPCVT_SUPPORT

If you don't define XFree86ConsoleDefines in host.def the
pccons and pcvt drivers will be supported by default.

Native support for the wscons console driver found on
OpenBSD/macppc and on OpenBSD/i386 2.9 and later is built
by adding:

#define XFree86ConsoleDefines -DWSCONS_SUPPORT

to xc/config/host.def before rebuilding the server.

For the i386, you should include both pcvt and wscons support in order
to use the pcvt compatibility mode of wscons:

#define XFree86ConsoleDefines -DPCVT_SUPPORT -DWSCONS_SUPPORT

8.2. Building on other architectures

XFree86 also compiles on other OpenBSD architectures.

Note that OpenBSD project now has its own source tree, based on
the XFree86 source tree, with some local modifications. You may want
to start with this tree to rebuild from sources. The OpenBSD XF4
source tree is available by anoncvs from all OpenBSD anoncvs
servers. See http://www.openbsd.org/anoncvs.html for details on anoncvs.

8.2.1. XFree86 on OpenBSD/macppc

The XFree86 server is currently known to work on the G4 Macs and new
iBooks with ATI Rage 128 cards running OpenBSD 3.0 or later.
Other machines are more or less untested. Earlier OpenBSD versions
lack some kernel support for it.

Use xf86config to build a /etc/X11/XF86Config file before starting
the server for the first time.

Tou configure the keyboard, the protocol should be specified as
wskbd and the device as /dev/wskbd0.
Using a wsmux device as the keyboard device doesn't work (yet). Use
macintosh as XkbModel.

For the Titanium Powerbook G4, you can try the following mode line in
/etc/X11/XF86Config to match the flat panel resolution:
